Are you using a custom pak file? What engine are you using if any?

Quake 2 has its own "file system". Internally, a file loaded from a real Windows file on disk is indistinguishable from a file that was loaded from within a .PAK file.
As X'tyfe has suggested, your corrupt file is probably from a pak file you have. You can move/rename custom pak files one at a time until you don't get the error. Then you can get a newer version of that pak or do surgery on it with PakExplorer.

BTW, r1q2 has a handy command... from the q2 console, type whereis ... like:
whereis models/weapons/g_rail/skin_new.tga
... and it will tell you which pak file (or directory) the file is being loaded from.
